The manufactured housing industry faces what may well be the worst regulatory onslaught in its history. The self-proclaimed national representative of \u201call segments\u201d of the manufactured home industry \u2013 the Manufactured Housing Institute \u00a0(MHI) &#8211; owes the industry an explanation for its serial failures with respect to the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s manufactured housing \u201cenergy conservation\u201d rule, in this fact and evidence based editorial viewpoint. MHI also has a parallel duty to do the right thing by leading a manufactured housing industry legal challenge to stop this approaching travesty, that MHI admits is coming and will be harmful if not stopped.<\/p><div id=\"manuf-1109888077\" class=\"manuf-content manuf-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3870480136270376\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3870480136270376\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of course, part of doing that might require MHI to come clean about its role in foisting this oncoming disaster on the industry and the consumers who depend on the affordability of manufactured housing. For starters, despite MHI\u2019s periodically touted \u201cclout\u201d on Capitol Hill, that association\u2019s leaders allowed environmental extremists to single-out manufactured housing for discriminatory treatment in the so-called Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007. That law stripped HUD of its jurisdiction over manufactured housing energy regulation and transferred that authority to the zealots at the Department of Energy (DOE). \u00a0Together with a directive to saddle manufactured homes with energy standards based on the latest International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) \u2013 noting that those IECC standards looming for manufactured housing don\u2019t apply to million-dollar site-built homes in most parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when it appeared that DOE was getting nowhere with the development of those standards in 2014 and 2015, MHI provided cover for DOE to launch a phony \u201cnegotiated rulemaking,\u201d while providing the votes needed to advance the proposal developed through that sham process. See the details in the report linked below.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20658\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews.jpg\" alt=\"ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews-575x302.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLeadersLawyersAskedExplosiveAllegationsByNonprofitVeteranOnHighProfileMHIndustryThreatExclusiveQAClaimsDownturnLess1YearAwayIfMHIFailsMHProNews-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/manufactured-housing-institute-leaders-lawyers-asked-about-explosive-allegations-by-nonprofit-veteran-on-high-profile-mh-industry-threat-exclusive-qa-claims-downturn-less-than-1-year-away-if-mhi-fai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i> https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/manufactured-housing-institute-leaders-lawyers-asked-about-explosive-allegations-by-nonprofit-veteran-on-high-profile-mh-industry-threat-exclusive-qa-claims-downturn-less-than-1-year-away-if-mhi-fai\/ <\/i><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since then, MHI has <u>effectively<\/u> done nothing to stop or even delay the DOE rule scheduled to take effect on May 31, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, the rule is projected to increase the cost of some double-section homes by $6,000 <u>or more<\/u>, according to DOE\u2019s own estimates. That increase could eliminate <u>millions<\/u> of potential customers from the HUD Code manufactured home market. Energy <em>regulations can\u2019t help consumers<\/em> if those consumers can\u2019t buy the home in the first place due to the higher costs involved.<\/p>\n<p>Now with enforcement of this DOE energy rule just over 6 months away, and given that it will take factories time to prepare for the implementation of the DOE manufactured housing energy rule, MHI is again apparently gaslighting the industry with what it calls a \u201cmulti-pronged strategy.\u201d Without answering, at least publicly, MHProNews\u2019 inquiries to them are several questions. One of them is this <em>Masthead <\/em>editorial\u2019s obvious question for MHI &#8212; \u201ca multi-pronged strategy to accomplish<em> what<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MHI claims among other things that its pursuing proposed legislation that would require DOE to consult with HUD; require DOE to \u201cdocument\u201d that its rule is \u201ccost-effective based on the impact of homebuyer price and cost increases;\u201d require such standards to \u201cfully take into consideration manufactured housing construction methods and transportation requirements;\u201d and require those standards \u201cto be adopted by HUD as part of the HUD Code.\u201d Those are per MHI\u2019s own recently emailed remarks to its own members.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with this legislative \u201cstrategy\u201d &#8211; whether \u201cmulti-pronged\u201d or not &#8211; is that with the 2022 midterm election results largely known, it is obvious that:<\/p>\n<p>(1) MHI\u2019s plan will not work for reasons explained herein.<br \/>\n(2) MHI leaders ought to <u>know<\/u> that their plan will not work; and<\/p>\n<p>(3) thus, that MHI is apparently engaging in a \u201csmoke and mirrors\u201d effort to buy time and avoid pursuing an industry lawsuit to overturn and stop the DOE rule in its tracks.<\/p>\n<p>By accident or design, MHI\u2019s stated plans with regard to the DOE energy rules are heading <em>nowhere<\/em>. See the previously published analysis of MHI\u2019s legislation odds, which per GovTrack and Skopos Labs pre-midterms, had only a <em>2 percent chance of enactment.\u00a0<\/em>We think Skopos and GovTrack are being too generous at 2 percent, because the odds of MHI getting their bill through Congress and signed by Joe Biden are near zero.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/understanding-crony-corporate-paltering-media-washington-d-c-reality-check-with-b-s-decoder-ring-sunday-satire-on-national-affordable-housing-issues-with-weekly-mhville-headlines-review\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For those who want to give MHI the benefit of the doubt, recall that something similar occurred with MHI\u2019s <em>Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act <\/em>effort. Once something happens, something similar can obviously occur.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons for this are simple and are made even more glaringly obvious given the results of the November 8, 2022 midterm election.<\/p>\n<p>In the current Democrat-controlled Congress, MHI\u2019s legislation is, and will be, going exactly <em>nowhere<\/em>. That should be obvious by its lack of <u>any<\/u> Democrat co-sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>But now, in the wake of the midterm election, it is also clear (or should be) that nothing is going to change substantially in the new Congress on the energy front. While a bill could possibly sneak through in the House with a small Republican majority, it would not stand a chance in a closely-divided Senate with either a Democrat majority or enough Democrats to maintain a filibuster. And even if lightning struck and a bill miraculously passed both houses of Congress, a still-in-the White House \u2018President Joe Biden\u2019 would be waiting with his veto pen.<\/p>\n<p>So, a legislative \u201cfix\u201d for the DOE manufactured housing energy standards fiasco is not in the cards \u2013 not even a little.<\/p>\n<p>As for the remainder of MHI\u2019s \u201cmulti-pronged\u201d strategy, that is an issue that we will undoubtedly hear about from other national manufactured housing industry trade organization, namely the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR).\u00a0 MHProNews has reported for years that MHARR has been consistently aggressive in opposing this monster DOE energy regulation, without any meaningful help from MHI.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the clock is ticking toward May 31, 2023. With no remedy in place and no apparent effort by MHI to move forward on what is likely the only <u>real<\/u> remedy that can stop the industry-killing DOE standards <u>before<\/u> they go into effect \u2013 which is an joint-industry lawsuit between the two national trade group\u2019s to obtain an injunction. MHARR has offered to do that so long as MHI does so too. Why is MHI stonewalling and silent on joining with MHARR to do the obvious? ##<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mpGcUnJoBB\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/touting-public-officials-praising-manufactured-homes-manufactured-housing-institute-ironically-urges-take-action-to-support-cost-effective-mh-energy-efficiency-requirements\/\">Touting Public Officials Praising Manufactured Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute Ironically Urges \u2018Take Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements\u2019 \u2013 Facts &#038; Analysis<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Touting Public Officials Praising Manufactured Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute Ironically Urges \u2018Take Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements\u2019 \u2013 Facts &#038; Analysis&#8221; &#8212; Masthead L.
